Fire at East Village Hotel (aka Paramount Hotel)

Anyone was in the vicinity when it happened?

The SCDF was good in extinguishing the fire. Not bad.

The CNA news video said polystyrene board was used to insulate the building. Why allow easily flammable material kept in huge numbers.

Heard they flash the code to mobilise NSmen and use bucket parties to put out the fire. :bsmilie:

Should be able to claim make-up pay.

I'm pretty sure it's the hotel staff that evacuated the guests.
